Love, am I not worth it ?
Chapter 13
Khushi was standing in the poolside as usual looking at the sky. Arnav had gone to meet his mother. She also wanted to accompany him but then decided against it. May be her mother in law wanted some private moments with her children. She was thinking about how to tell Arnav about Ponies. She decided to tell him the next day itself.
Suddenly, she felt two arms wrapping around her startling her. She was so engrossed in her thinking that she didn't realize him entering the room. Cocooning her in his arms, he turned around and hugged her tightly burying his hair in her long thick silky hair. She hugged him back being content in his arms.
"How is Maa." She asked softly.
"She wss a bit upset with the incident. But now she is fine. She had slept." He replied snuggling more into her.
"Hmm... Arnav" She called him softly.
Lifting his head he looked into her eyes.
"Arnav, are you busy tomorrow?" She asked him.
"No really. A few meetings are there. But it's OK. Why? What happened? Are you alright." He suddenly turned serious and concerned.
"Yes. I am alright. Actually I wanted to talk something important with you. If you are free then we can go out tomorrow and talk."
Calming down he said, " OK. Then we'll go out. But what is that much serious matter that you want to go out to talk about it. "
"Hmmm. I will tell you tomorrow. But it's very important. We definitely have to talk about it."
"Fine then we'll go out and talk about that serious matter of yours." He smiled.
She felt relieved. She will tell tomorrow about Ponies to Arnav. She was still nervous about Arnav's reaction but she can't delay it anymore. Not after all that happened today.
Lost in her thoughts, she missed Arnav's mischievous gaze which was roaming on her. Seeing her lost, he quickly lifted her on his shoulders and dumped her on the pool before she could react.
When she realized what happened she had her signature three perfect 'O's on her face. Seeing her cute expression he laughed out loud. Looking at his laughing face she pouted. Soon that pout turned into mischievous smile which Arnav failed to notice in his laughing spree.
Extending her hand she gestured him to pull her out. As soon as he hold her hands she pulled him into the water along with her. Now it was her turn to laugh.
Seeing her laughing he said, "Now you are gone." Saying this he swam towards her while she swam to the other side of the pool. Both of them played in the pool for sometime chasing each other, splashing water on each other etc.
After sometime both shed of their clothes and had a romantic moment in the pool. Finally Arnav pulled Khushi and himself out of the pool lifting her in his arms. He took her to the bathroom,dried her and himself. Again taking her in his arms after wrapping themselves in bathrobes he took her to the room.
Laying her on the bed he laid beside her taking her in his arms.
"Khushi, what do you think about babies." He asked after few minutes.
She was surprised at his sudden question. It was first time they were discussing about this topic. Earlier she used to think that he never wanted kids as he wasn't fond of them much. But after Ponies, she always wanted to talk to him about kids but could never gather enough courage to do it. Now when he himself is discussing about the topic, she wanted to know what he feels.
"Why? What happened? Why are you asking about it suddenly?" She tried to know his point of view.
" No. Nothing. I was thinking after whatever that happened today. May be we should think about it. We have been married for two years. May be we should plan our family. Mmm... So what do you think."
"I am fine with it, Arnav. I mean I am ready for it. But are you sure. Are you ready for it."
"Yes. I mean earlier I wasn't fond of kids much. I always thought them to be nuisance. But after marriage my opinions started changing. Earlier I didn't even believed in love and marriage but now when I think about our marriage, it doesn't seem so bad. So I think we should think about babies. With you beside me I think it won't be such a bad experience. In fact from sometime I really want to talk to you about it.So what do you think?"
Hearing his words she felt relieved some what. She also needed that, happy and peaceful life with him and their babies.
Smiling at him she replied, "Well I love babies. I always wanted to have cute and beautiful babies." Hearing her he chuckled.
"Oh really."
She nodded cutely.
"Then in that case I want a girl." Arnav put forward his wish.
Hearing him she frowned. "Why girl? Why not boys? I thought you would want baby boys so that you will get your heir who will look after your business and take forward your legacy."
"Who said only boys can take forward legacy and look after business. Can't girls do it. Boy or girl. It will be our child. It will take forward our name. He/She will be our heir/heiress."
Hearing his reply she felt proud of him about his thinking.
He continued, "Look at you Khushi. Even you are your parents one and only daughter. You are going to take their legacy forward. I am sure when right time comes you will look after your father's business also. May be more efficient than a son would have taken care of. So I also want a baby girl who will be just like her mother. Strong, brave, innocent, mature and cute."
Hearing his words she was surprised. Her respect for him increased seeing his high thinking.
"So what if we have boys. Won't you love them?" The mother in her needed assurance.
"Are you cracy Khushi. Of course I will love our baby boy also. He will also be a part of us. How can I not love him? But I would surely want a girl also. We will keep trying till we get one."
Hearing him, she raised eyed her eyebrows and asked, "How many kids do you want?"
"May be 10."
"Are you planning to make a cricket team of yours."
"Oh my dear. For cricket team we need eleven not ten"
"So what eleventh one is there na."
"Who?"
"The great Arnav Singh Raizada. The captain of Raizada and kids team."
"Oh really."
"Yep." She laughed.
"Well then let me start working on making my cricket team." Saying this he switched off the lights and took them to their world of love.
***************
Next morning Khushi got up a little late. Looking around she realized that her husband was not beside her. It was 7 in the morning. After getting fresh she came into the room. She noticed a letter kept on the small table placed in one corner of the room.
It was a letter from Arnav. Opening it she read it.
Have to go for an urgent early morning meeting. So leaving early. Will talk to you later. Take care.
Arnav
Reading the letter she sighed. She had planned to go out with him and tell him everything. But he already left for office. She had taken a leave from office. So she decided to go to Paradise. She decided to call Arnav later and meet him later.
***************
It was afternoon. She spend her whole morning with her Ponies. She fed them, played with them, bathed them and even made them ready so that when they meet their father, they looked their best. She was very excited with the idea of making Arnav meet with Ponies.
In the afternoon she called Arnav to ask whether they could meet so that they can talk. But Arnav informed her that he was on the way to Nainital as some emergency had come. So he had to go there. It will take him two days to return.
She tried to console herself telling that she had waited for such a long time, a wait for another two days won't do any harm.
***************
Next day when she reached office, she was informed that she had to fly to Luckwhen immediately as an important deal needs her presence. She had to go to Lucknow for three days. She tried to send somebody else in her place. Even Jules and Neha offered to go in her place but the clients were very adamant about her presence.
Since it was a project beneficial to both Aashiyaana and AS Groups. She decided to go. Three days. The truth had to wait for three days to unfold.
***************
3 days. 72 hours. 4320 minutes. 259200 seconds. It was most longest three days of her life. Every moment had passed like a century. Flying to Lucknow that evening with Jules, Neha and Ponies she spend the three days of her life in the city of Nawabs, Lucknow.
With each passing minute, an unknown fear was creeping in her mind. Something was wrong. Her heart felt. Her heart was in pain. But why. She didn't know. She couldn't concentrate on her work. Most of the work was done by Neha and Jules.
Somehow finishing her work in three days and returned back. Dropping Neha,Jules and Ponies at Paradise she rushed home. She had to tell Arnav all truth. She can't delay it anymore. Her heart screamed to tell it all out.
Reaching home, she immediately rushed inside. She opened the door and stood still. The sight in front of her made her numb. Her heart stopped. She felt blood drained out of her body. She couldn't move. She felt somebody had stabbed on her heart with a thousand needles.
